Hash Hashemian: Visionary leadership
As Dr. Hashem M. “Hash” Hashemian prepares to step into his term as President of the American Nuclear Society, he is clear that he wants to make the most of this unique moment.
A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.

The 64Cu production in biological tissues after reactor neutron activation was compared (a) in different types of tissue and (b) in different sizes of samples. The comparison showed that composition of animal tissue should be taken into account since it is a source of interference during neutron activation of copper. Undirectional deviations of 10% depending on sample type and size can be caused by this interference. The copper content in pooled tissues of Lymnaea stagnalis is an example. If properly corrected, these were 21 µg dry intestinal tissue and 5.7 µg / g shell.
